The train side-tracked between Verbena
and Montgomery for another to pass, and
some of us got off and went over to where an
old negro woman was fishing in mud-hole
it was that and no more nor less. In build
ing the railroad lot of dirt had been re-
moved and the recent rains had filled it with
brick-colored water. Everybody laughed at
the idea of her fishing in that spot, and the
colonel approached her and said:
What are you fishing for Aunty2''
!, For fish, sah,' she replied, as she gave
the pole jerk.
But you don't expect to find fish in
there?"
"Doan' l? Deed, but I does! Doan de
Lawd say dar' shall be fish in de waters an
birds in de air, an dye 'spose Use gwine back

The Age of the Earth.

In boring well on the farm of Mrs Sarah
Williams, some five miles south of Colusa,
J. c. Frazier, who has the farm rented,
struck piece of wood at a depth of 17o feet.
The wood brought up by the auger was in an
excellent state Of preservation and was pro-
nounced "all oak The place is only fifty
teet above the sea level, so that the wood is
l2O feet below the oceans surface If it was
arm Of the bay it was in pretty deep water
How long since this piece of wood was in a
growing tree? The valley, of course has
grown, but without some CONFUSION of ma
ture the growth has been slow, not, perhaps
over one foot per century. Then it has been
1900 years since this oak tree grew? In the
shadow of the Infinite this is not long, but
measured by the history of man it is indeed
a long space.-Cozusa (Cal) San.
